U.S. President Donald Trump assured this Friday that he has very good relations with his Mexican counterpart, Claudia Sheinbaum, and the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, shortly before meeting with both within the program of the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw, which will be hosted by the three countries.
"We are going to meet with both of them and we are getting along very well. (...) We have a meeting scheduled for some time after the event. We will talk today. We get along very well," Trump told the press upon his arrival on the red carpet at the Kennedy Center in Washington, the venue for the sporting event.
The three North American leaders will meet for the first time in the same space at the ceremony, after which they are expected to hold brief bilateral meetings, although the possibility of a tripartite conversation has not been ruled out.

The Washington dialogues will take place after this Wednesday Trump indicated that he will possibly let the USMCA, a free trade agreement with Mexico and Canada, expire, and that he will seek a new trade agreement with his neighbors. This meeting will also mark the first face-to-face between Trump and Sheinbaum, who were scheduled to meet during the G7 summit in Canada last June, in a bilateral meeting that did not take place because the American returned a day earlier to Washington to focus on the crisis with Iran. For his part, Carney will try to restore relations with his neighbor after the Republican president suspended trade negotiations in October in retaliation for the broadcast on television of a Canadian advertisement against US tariffs.
